Social Structure
This week we focused on issues of status, roles in society, types of society, and social structure. Based on the films we atched this week and your research, reflect on the following concepts:
What makes American society work?
What is the glue that holds America together?
What is the importance of status?
Which roles are vital for the maintenance of American society?
Refer to our lessons on:
Social structure is the interaction between people of different status and the roles that they perform.
Americans assign more status to people with more money.
A society can be understood by how its people make a living.
Societies generally into three categories: pre-industrial, post-industrial, industrial.
The films we watched were:
30 Days: Minimum Wage
Now on PBS: Taxing the Poor
Now on PBS: College Summit
Respond to the blog by Sunday evening 11:59 p.m.

Responding to Mr. Cotto's autobiography
Hello everybody,
In today's lesson, we discussed Mr. Cotto's socialization. You saw number of documents that related to Mr. Cotto's upbringing. You should have seen the four factors of personality at play: birth order, heredity, cultural environment, and parents. Below is a link to one of my drafts to the autobiography published in the book, Mi Voz, Mi Vida. I ask for your comments and thoughts, connections, advice, and reflections.

In the end, would you say that "People are a product of their environment?" Next week we will be using a variety of research techniques to determine to what extent the four factors of personality matter for a person's socialization.
